He's had a week or 2 to prepare for the most important set of games in his life. I can't imagine why he wouldn't practice and prepare enough when he's already done so much this season. He lost, he got outplayed, he couldn't control his mindset. Don't make excuses | ||

Massive congratulations to fantasy. He finally gets a well-deserved gold. Really hope this doesn't put Stork into a permanent slump, though. Poor guy. | ||

Fantasy was twitching pretty hard in his booth, I bet if his games didn't go according to plan he'd have similarly fallen apart. Luckily for him, all of them did. YEAAAAAAAAAAH FANTASY myboy~~~ (and possibly oov for possibly engineering the specificity of his builds of destruction) | ||

Who to put 1st?  Stork? Lol no.  Jaedong? But game vs Snow wasn't that good and just showcased JD's iron will to win, but opponent was not the best of all.  Fantasy? Maybe, but he isn't perfect and TvZ is his obvious weakness compared to TvP and TvT. ZerO? Maybe, but wait till the end of MSL (and I hope that its outcome won't let us put ZerO higher, for obvious personal reasons -__- ). Flash maybe, once again? That would be the best choice imo. He's the one player who currently shows the most consistency, but lol wat, he's eliminated from both leagues...If I wanted to be at the place of some person, it wouldn't be a place of flamewheel for sure. X_x BTW, maybe we're going to see the era of TaekJungLeeSsang instead of TaekBang...?  | ||

I can't imagine why he wouldn't practice and prepare enough when he's already done so much this season. He lost, he got outplayed, he couldn't control his mindset. Don't make excuses Its not so much he didn't prepare enough but prepared incorrectly. Stork is a player who will play exactly the same in proleague and individual leagues. He doesn't choke, that's completely incorrect because he doesn't make stupid decisions or throw games like Fantasy did against Jaedong a few times. He just never plays any better or different, his two 3-0 losses against the terran duo were mostly due to the build order choices. That's not being unable to control your mindset or choking, that's just a player who doesn't comprehend what you can do (more like what you have to do) to win the finals. Its not the first time he's lost this way before and its amazing he hasn't picked up on it. | ||

It's like you forgot everything you learned in your OSL gold run. That bo5 you brought out 2 gate proxy cheeses, dt/reaver harass rape, etc etc, all kinds of funky builds. This time it's like you just came out and expected them to give you the trophy. Just terrible. That's something I don't understand. I would really like to know what's going on in Khan house. | ||

SKT1 is just flat out a better coached team. Khan doesn't seem to do shit. January still hasn't been able to get Jangbi out of his slump and as excitingly novel as TurN is, he's no OSL champion. Who else is left? Odin? It's just a joke who Stork has to practice with compared to Fanta, especially considering Fanta locked up Flash. Stork lost this due to arrogance, lack of preparation, and imo, probably the gf. He's a pretty emo guy and losing a looong term gf like that is devastating. Having a favorable map pool probably made him think he could just eke this one out on mechanics. | ||
